We are learning about time and temperature and I would like to learn more about the time zones around the earth because it sounds interesting and I think I could learn alot from it. Great attitude Logan. We will definitely be looking at time zones during this unit. Mrs Breeds. 15.03.10
W.A.L.T. We are learning about different time zones around the world and how to calculate time differences. There are 24 different time zones across the world, each 1 hour apart, so as an exaple if it is 3:00 pm in New Zealand then it would be 10:00 am in Singapore because it is 5 time zones behind us but is is not allways exactly 1 hour, sometimes it might be 20 minutes or more. I enjoyed this lesson. A nice clear explanation Logan. You could've improved it by explaining about Grennwich Mean Time.

WALT: We are learning about the difference between Celcius and Fahrenheit for temperature. Fahrenheit was used years ago as a way of measuring temperature and is still used in countries like America, today people all over the world now use Celcius as a modern way of telling the temperature. To change Fahrenheit to Celcius use this formula, (F-32) x 5 divided by 9 = C, so (72 degrees Farenheit - 32) x 5 divided by 9 = 22 degrees Celcius. This lesson was really fun. Well done - a clear explanation of the theory behind our learning, plus an example. 24.03.10
WALT. use algebraic thinking to solve decimal subtraction problems. We learnt how to use a new way to solve decimal subtraction problems and that is adding the same number to both sides so the answer will be the same but eaisier to solve.
E.g. 4.4-0.88 4.4+0.12=4.52 0.88+0.12=1 4.52-1= 3.52
This was a great lesson and I really enjoyed it.
I am pleased you enjoyed the lesson and more importantly you gained and excellent understanding of a new stategy during the session. TC 29.03.10
WALT. Use temperature as a strategy to help us add and subtract intergurs.
E.g. -15-+11. Its like the - is cold and the + is warm so if its -15-+11 then its like taking the cold out of the warm so -15-+11=-4. I can see that you learnt something today in maths- Great. How do you feel about using this strategy? 19.04.10
W.A.L.T. Use a number of different problem solving strategies to solve complex problems.
Problem solving was really fun today because I learned some new strategies . What did you learn that you think you could use in the problem solving competitions. 21.04.10
W.A.L.T Find out what we know, what we think we know and what we don't know about statistics.
I found out that I don't know a lot of things about statistics but I also know a lot as well. A very vague entry Logan. Can you tell me what you have learned over the past few sessions?
What has happened to the rest of your entries Logan - have they been deleted by mistake. Please let me know as I am sure you have done more entries than this. 7.05.10
W.A.L.T display data using a box and whisker graph. I found out how to use a box and whisker graph to display data e.g. discreet data. I also learned that the whiskers can be different lengths from one another. Logan I want you to let me in on what is going on for you - are these activities challenging, have you had an aha moment. I would also like to see these being shared at home. 20.05.10
I had fun figuring out how to do my questionaire and my statistical investigation and they are starting to come back. 27.05.10
Today we did the 2nd otago problem solving test and I got 4. I learned that I should study previous otago problem solving tests and also to read the questions first. 4 is a very good score Logan. What was the error that you made? Was it a misread of the question? I do agree though that you need to be prepared to put in some work at home.
